Roccazzo, Archaeological site near Borgata Costiera, Mazara del Vallo, Italy.

Roccazzo is an archaeological site covering about 20 hectares on a limestone rise that locals call a magaggiara, in the countryside of Mazara del Vallo near the farming hamlet of Borgata Costiera. Excavations have exposed the foundation trenches of four rectangular huts measuring 7 by 16 metres and a necropolis of 47 pit tombs, one of which held 14 individuals. Pottery from the Neolithic and Bronze Age and a Greek building in the western part were also found.

The site shows evidence of human occupation stretching back thousands of years through the Neolithic, Eneolithic, and Bronze Age periods. Modern archaeological work in recent decades uncovered the extent of these ancient settlements and burial practices.

The necropolis holds 47 pit tombs, each for a single burial except tomb 29, which contained 14 individuals. The site lies near the agricultural hamlet of Borgata Costiera, and the local term magaggiara names the limestone rise the settlement occupies.

Roccazzo lies near the agricultural hamlet of Borgata Costiera in the territory of Mazara del Vallo and is reached via the Strada Regionale 17 Fondacazzo–Santa Teresa–Roccazzo. The archaeological area covers about 20 hectares on a limestone rise known locally as a magaggiara, so the ground is uneven and the excavated trenches are best seen in dry weather.

Tomb 29 in the necropolis held 14 individuals, while every other of the 47 tombs contained a single burial. The necropolis lies beside the settlement on the limestone rise called magaggiara, and the site is reached by the Strada Regionale 17 Fondacazzo - Santa Teresa - Roccazzo.
